That's how I see it." — Karl Lagerfeld. [WWD]

It's inevitable, and you have to accept that." [WWD]

Remember Me, which looks kind of drippy and involves 9/11, may not be Twilight, but R.Patz's rabid fans will take what they can get - or that's what live-auction site icollector.com is hoping: they're auctioning several of Pattinson's costumes, with some of the proceeds going to the Entertainment Industry Foundation.
